Cleaner energy for today and tomorrow

From water and home heating to cooking and clothes drying, propane provides essential energy solutions to help you save money and the environment.
Whether it’s powering fleets, fisheries, farms, construction projects or buildings, propane energizes Canada.
Compared to other energy sources, using propane improves air quality, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and protects the environment.
The Canadian Propane Association’s Propane Training Institute is the premier training provider for the propane industry.
Now and for future generations – environmentally friendly propane is essential energy as we move to a low-carbon future.
Propane can save you money because of its relatively low cost, efficient performance, and lower insurance bills due to no risk of contamination.
From water and home heating to powering home appliances and vehicles, propane’s applications are vast. And it can go anywhere you can.
Propane dealers live and work in the communities they operate in to deliver a low-emission energy source that exceeds the reach of traditional pipelines.
TORONTO, February 26, 2024 – The Canadian Propane Association is speaking with Ontario Members of Provincial Parliament to discuss prioritizing affordable energy. In its efforts to reduce emissions, the province must ensure that all Ontarians, no matter where they live, can access low-emission energy to heat their homes and businesses. Propane can play a crucial role in supplying cost-effective energy, especially for rural, remote, and Indigenous communities who do not have access to natural gas and electricity.
We need all forms of low-emission energy for a resilient and sustainable future for Canada, a future that includes low-emission propane. The government must develop policies that address reliability, affordability, and low-emission energy options equitably and ensure fulsome collaboration with all stakeholders.
OTTAWA, December 6, 2023 – The Canadian Propane Association (CPA) is extremely disappointed that the Senate of Canada has amended Bill C-234 delaying, possibly indefinitely, changes that would have reduced farming costs.
“This Bill should have been passed,” said Shannon Watt, President and CEO of the CPA. “Diesel and gasoline are already exempt from the carbon tax under the regulations, and it makes no sense that low-emission energy sources like propane and natural gas were excluded. This Private Members Bill was to correct that oversight but unfortunately, other agendas were at play.
The Canadian Propane Association is joining agriculture groups from across Canada in calling on the Senate of Canada to reject the proposed amendment to remove heating and cooling of barns and greenhouses from Bill C-234, An Act to amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (GGPPA).
Propane powers farms, hospitals, school districts, fleets, construction projects and more to help you meet economic, environmental and efficiency targets.
